I kindly disagree. ~[arch] is testing for Gentoo ebuild. It's considered stable upstream. This was an upstream bug, not a Gentoo bug. And, as others mentioned, someone's got to be testing stuff and filing reports upstream. It doesn't mean you want to do it, but I really think considering ~ as a test of upstream is rather silly. If this is your idea, run hardened or like slackware. ~daid
